"What?" Hong Ye was taken aback and almost jumped up.
Even the She Ling stared at Ye Xuan in shock.
She never expected that her boss would assign her a mere ant at the Half-Emperor Realm.
At the same moment, many cultivators around also looked over, their expressions filled with hostility.
Ye Xuan felt a chill run down his spine for a moment.
Is this because he thinks his cultivation level is too low?
Okay, that's definitely a bit low.
"This is your joining reward. Take it and use it for your cultivation. Hong Ye, arrange a room for him. If there are any missions, just take him with you."
After the She Ling finished speaking, it said no more, sighed, and vanished in an instant.
Hong Ye hummed in agreement, looked at Ye Xuan, and said calmly, "Come with me."
With that, he began to lead the way.
Ye Xuan followed closely behind.
Before long, the two arrived at a house.
Hong Ye said, "From now on, this will be your residence. This is the She Ling Army token, which can be used for communication. If anything happens, you can use the token to notify me. If there is a mission, I will also use the token to summon you."
Hong Ye clearly looked down on Ye Xuan Ye Xuan was somewhat impatient with him, so after speaking, she prepared to leave.
Ye Xuan glanced at the woman, who was quite attractive, but didn't pursue the matter. He asked, "May I ask if I can leave here and go for a walk in the city?"
He could sense that Hong Ye's cultivation level was only at the initial stage of the Great Emperor Realm.
Although the Great Emperor Realm cultivators of the Immortal Domain are definitely more powerful than the Xiao Clan patriarch of the Heavenly Domain Xiao Clan.
However, Ye Xuan remained confident that he could kill his opponent in a life-or-death battle.
Of course, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Besides, there wasn't any life-or-death feud between them, so Ye Xuan didn't bother arguing with this woman.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Hong Ye gave Ye Xuan an even more disgusted look, then nodded and said, "Of course, that's your prerogative."
"However, given your cultivation level, even with your identity as a member of the She Ling Army, it's best not to wander around the city."
"Otherwise, if you offend those spoiled brats or the other major powers, you might not even know how you died."
"By then, even if my Hei Yun Army can avenge you and seek justice for you, what's the point if you're already dead?"
After saying that, Hong Ye gave a light snort, then turned and left without saying another word.
"Oh, that's so rude."
Ye Xuan watched Hong Ye's departing figure, muttered something under his breath, and then went into the room.
He first used magic to cleanse his body, then changed his clothes, before picking up the token and examining it repeatedly.
The token had a Hei Yun engraved on the back and a large snake drawn on the front.
Ye Xuan carefully sensed it and found that the token had no function other than transmitting sound.
The material was rather unusual; at least Ye Xuan couldn't identify what it was made of.
"It seems I'll have to stay in Hei Yun City for a while longer. I'll wait until I've gathered enough information about this place and the situation at the Sacred Frost Palace before making a decision."
"Sigh, my cultivation level is still a bit low. A mere Hei Yun Army has me completely under his thumb."
"If they were to face the Sacred Frost Palace, wouldn't that be courting death?"
Ye Xuan murmured, then couldn't help but sigh again.
You should know that Han Bingning is the little princess of the Sacred Frost Palace, with an extremely noble status.
If he rashly barged in and said he wanted to take Han Bingning away, he would most likely be beaten to death.
Unless, of course, he has the strength to challenge the Sacred Frost Palace.
Ye Xuan thought about these things and felt a little heavy-hearted.
But soon, a crucial question suddenly occurred to him, and the next moment, he abruptly jumped up from his chair.
"By the way, where is this place? Is it the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain? If it is, that's good, but if not, then..."
Ye Xuan panicked a little.
Since he was new to the Immortal Domain, he subconsciously assumed that this place was the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain.
But now he realized that there wasn't just one Immortal Domain, but a total of nine.
As the saying goes, there are Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, a total of nine Immortal Domain. How could he be so sure that he had come to the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan could no longer sit still.
He rushed out of the room in an instant, leaving the mansion amidst the shocked and bewildered gazes of countless people.
"Holy crap, who's that kid?"
"So handsome! How come I've never seen him before?"
"Isn't that the new kid? I never expected him to be so handsome."
"Pah! Can good looks feed you? A mere Half-Emperor Realm cultivator is nothing but an ant. I really don't know which power sent him in through connections for training."
Most of the cultivators were completely dumbfounded when they saw Ye Xuan leave.
You know, newcomers are usually very well-behaved and obedient when they first arrive.
Who else would do something like Ye Xuan, rushing out without a word to enjoy the city's dazzling world?
Besides, they were also quite shocked by Ye Xuan's appearance.
Because Ye Xuan used to be so slovenly.
It was dirty and covered in wounds.
Now that Ye Xuan has cleaned himself up and recovered from his injuries, he looks quite refreshing to them.
Of course, that's all.
After all, this is the Immortal Domain, where might makes right.
"Hmph, utterly unreasonable and beyond redemption."
Seeing Ye Xuan leave, Hong Ye snorted coldly, her dissatisfaction with Ye Xuan growing even stronger.
It's one thing to have low cultivation level, but to not even cultivate diligently and think about running away as soon as you arrive is simply outrageous.
The She Ling noticed Ye Xuan leaving and let out a soft sigh.
I really don't know why Lord Hei Yun would arrange for such a guy to be here with him.
The year-end competition is just around the corner.
It seems that this time, his She Ling Army will once again be at the bottom.
"Huh? Running away?"
At the same moment, Hei Yun also noticed Ye Xuan's departure.
A playful smile appeared on his lips, but he ignored it.
Having joined my ranks, you think you can escape? Are you kidding me?
If Ye Xuan runs away, then even someone at the Peak Great Emperor Realm should go home and farm.
Hei Yun City.
Extremely prosperous.
Numerous cultivators came and went, and all sorts of shops were everywhere.
"Hey young man, you look unfamiliar. Come join us! Newcomers get a 10% discount."
A sweet, delicate voice rang in Ye Xuan's ear.
Ye Xuan glanced over and saw a flamboyantly dressed older woman soliciting customers with an incredibly bright smile.
Ye Xuan glanced at the older woman, then looked at the women upstairs who were striking seductive poses at him, and couldn't help but purse his lips.
A bunch of ordinary, vulgar women, wanting their own bodies? Dream on!
He didn't even bother to look at those people and walked straight towards the restaurant not far away.
"Please come in, objective person."
A Xiao'er saw Ye Xuan approaching and stepped forward to welcome Ye Xuan inside.
Ye Xuan glanced at the drink menu and was completely dumbfounded.
He secretly checked the spatial ring that the She Ling had rewarded him with, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I can afford the price, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
He ordered a pot of wine and a plate of side dishes, and began to enjoy them while listening to the discussions of the other guests around him.
What he wanted to know first was whether this place was the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain.
And this is a question he absolutely cannot ask.
Otherwise, even a fool would know he has a problem.
In fact, he could have asked Hong Ye about this, but he had a bad feeling about that woman, so he didn't bother to ask.
"Hey, have you heard? Dao Yan from the Dao Origin Academy has already defeated several prodigies from major powers, and it's said he'll be heading to the Sacred Frost Palace soon."
"Nonsense, who doesn't know that? It's said that Dao Yan has taken a liking to Fairy Han Bingning, the young master of the Sacred Frost Palace, and wants to propose marriage."
"Damn it, what bad luck! Tianjiao prodigy from an outer Immortal Domain dares to come to my Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain to provoke me, and even wants to marry Fairy Han. It's infuriating just thinking about it."
"You'd better keep your voice down, or Dao Yan might challenge you. That guy is despicable, but to be fair, he's incredibly strong."
Before long, the discussion among several cultivators caught Ye Xuan's attention.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's expression changed involuntarily.
Holy crap, someone actually wants to steal my master?!
Damn it, who is that Dao Yan? And what the hell is Dao Origin Academy?
Most importantly, what is Dao Yan's strength?
Ye Xuan was somewhat annoyed, feeling as if his partner had been poached.
He took a deep breath, raised his wine cup, walked up to the group of cultivators, and asked with a smile, "Senior brothers, who is this Dao Yan?"
"I have been in seclusion for cultivation in recent years, so I have never heard of this person. By the way, what is his cultivation level?"
As he spoke, Ye Xuan unconsciously revealed his She Ling Army token.
This token is a symbol of status; barring any hatred or conflict of interest, it's unlikely anyone would easily attack me.
"So it's Senior Brother She Ling Army! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner. Since you've been in seclusion, it's understandable that you haven't heard of Dao Yan."
"That Dao Yan is said to be the most talented Tianjiao in the Dao Origin Academy in tens of thousands of years. At such a young age, he has already reached the Great Emperor Realm Seventh Layer."
"Three years ago, he came to my Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, sweeping away countless powerful forces and prodigies along the way. It is said that he will soon be heading to the Sacred Frost Palace."
The monk who was being questioned was initially somewhat displeased.
But when he saw the token in Ye Xuan's hand, he immediately became polite.
" Great Late Emperor Realm?"
Ye Xuan was somewhat shocked; this level of cultivation was already extremely high.
Immediately, he revealed an indignant expression, "This is outrageous! Fairy Han is the goddess of my Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, how can we tolerate her being taken away by someone else?"
"By the way, what is Fairy Han's cultivation level now? I'm a little unsure."
Upon hearing this, the cultivator couldn't help but scoff.
He gave her a look that said, "Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat," and said, "I don't know, but it's said that Fairy Han underwent the bloodline ritual of the Sacred Frost Palace, so she's at least at the Great Emperor Realm."
Holy crap.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Has the Han Bingning Great Emperor Realm yet?
In that case, it seems I might not even be a match for her.
It should be noted that Han Bingning also possesses the Ice Sacred Body.
Ye Xuan thought to himself, but didn't ask any more questions. He drank some wine by himself and then left the restaurant.
He didn't look well.
The fact that someone was trying to take advantage of Han Bingning was definitely not good news for him.
His only consolation was that he had arrived in the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, which meant he no longer had to worry about crossing the Immortal Domain to reach Xuan Tian.
"Sigh, cultivation, cultivation, cultivation... Someone actually dares to plot against Master! How can this be? I need to reach at least the Late Emperor Realm before I can possibly deal with that Dao Yan."
Ye Xuan felt the pressure creeping in.
He set up restrictions in the main hall, then took out resources from his spatial ring and began cultivating.
At the same moment, Commander Hei Yun opened his eyes and said with a faint smile, "As expected, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. These mere lads from the Lower Realm realms all want to make a move on that lady from the Sacred Frost Palace? Really..."
The She Ling also opened her beautiful eyes, somewhat speechless, "This kid, sigh, really... a playboy..."
Ye Xuan had no idea that Commander Hei Yun and She Ling had been monitoring him all along, nor did he know that the two of them already regarded him as a dissolute young man.
He practiced for three months.
Because of the abundant immortal energy in the Immortal Domain, coupled with the resources given to him by the She Ling, he felt the bottleneck in just three months.
If you continue down this path, you will be able to enter the Emperor Realm.
Of course, Ye Xuan also knew that the reason why his cultivation was so fast was because he had just entered the Immortal Domain Realm.
Once you adapt to the ethereal energy of this place, it's unlikely you'll be able to do it so quickly again.
On this day, Ye Xuan was contemplating whether he should go out and find a place to break through to the Emperor Realm.
Suddenly, Hong Ye came to the door.
"Tomorrow is the day of the year-end assessment. According to the rules, you will also participate in the battle, a battle against the newcomers."
Hong Ye, dressed in a red dress, stood proudly in front of Ye Xuan, her snow-white chin held high, and said with a cold expression.
Ye Xuan is very handsome, but for someone like her, she admires the strong even more.
She continued, "I know your cultivation level is still low; even if you participate in the assessment, you'll be at the bottom, humiliating yourself in the process."
"But as soldiers, we should not fear failure; we should forge ahead and fight bravely. Therefore, I hope you will participate and not give up on this assessment."
Ye Xuan seemed not to hear Hong Ye's words and said, "I think my priority right now is to focus on cultivation and improving my strength. As for the assessment, I will not participate; I choose to give it up."
Just kidding, his rival in love is a Great Late Emperor Realm expert who is sweeping away the Tianjiao of various forces, trying to steal his master.
Is he supposed to stay here and play with a bunch of the Emperor Realm?
He doesn't have time to waste.
"You..." Hong Ye was almost furious when she heard Ye Xuan's words.
Did this guy even hear what he was saying?
I just told him to participate in the assessment and not to give up, and he immediately turned around and said he wouldn't participate and would choose to give up.
Hong Ye even suspected that Ye Xuan was deliberately going against her.
Hong Ye glared at Ye Xuan angrily, and after a long while, she coldly said, "You don't have to participate, but you must be there to watch and learn from the experience."
Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to speak, she cut him off immediately, "This is an order, you are not allowed to refuse."
She was becoming increasingly annoyed with Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan has the right to refuse to participate in the assessment, which she cannot forcibly interfere with.
However, as Ye Xuan's superior, she had the right to demand that Ye Xuan watch the battle.
